Orin Swift Slander Pinot Noir 2018 750 ml

Slander is Orin Swift's Pinot Noir, sourced from cool-climate California vineyard sites and blended under winemaker Dave Phinney's house style — riper, bolder, and more structured than a typically delicate Pinot. Expect dark cherry and raspberry fruit, baking spice from oak, and a fuller body with more grip than Burgundy-leaning versions of the grape. It's built for drinkers who find classic Pinot Noir too light, and it shares the bold, layered approach that made Orin Swift's other reds well known. A good bottle for someone who wants Pinot Noir's flavor profile with more weight behind it.

How to drink Orin Swift Slander Pinot Noir

Serve slightly below room temperature, around 60–65°F, to keep the fruit from tasting jammy. Its fuller body handles heartier fare than most Pinot Noir — try it with duck, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon with a char on it.
